Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
I cleaned up my old bookshelf recently. I found some notes from when I was still doing my undergraduate. I found some quotes I copied from the books I read as well. I guess that’s been my habit, huh? I’m always interested in fascinating sentences I found in the books that I read (or movies/dramas/anime/etc….
It’s been a while, but I’d love to continue posting about some good quotes I can find from One Piece. For the previous writing about One Piece and the quotes, you can read them here. So, well, without further ado, let’s start 🙂 77. “I know it hurts, Luffy. But you have to smother all…
I posted some quotes before (read here!) But I’ve still got a lot. I’m kinda crazy about “quotes”. When I listen to a song, watch a movie or a drama, or read a book, and then encounter beautiful sentences, whether it is motivational, inspirational, or simply shoves the reality onto my face, I love them….
This time I want to post some quotes that I’ve been gathering from books that I’ve read, doramas and movies that I’ve watched, and perhaps some lyrics of the songs I’ve listened to, etc. Well, I used to write this down in my physical diary back then. But now I don’t really keep a physical…

Sadness is often portrayed as negative and bad that we often hide it. Whenever we feel sad, we quickly tell ourselves to be happy. Sometimes we feel bad for feeling sad. We feel worse for feeling bad. Endless. But, is it really not okay to feel sad or to show the world that we’re not…
Sometimes, our fears and worries are imaginary. Often, we cannot help it. They just pop out in our head, making us scared to do what we want to do. Us, people with insecurities, constantly struggling to muster up courage and boost our confidence. And even if the fears are proven unnecessary for one time, we…
Some time ago my friends praised me for doing well albeit living alone far away from my family, from my country. Previously, she asked me about loneliness. B: jUwa, how do you deal with loneliness? A: Loneliness? Hmm I don’t know. I’m kinda introverted so I enjoy being by myself. You know I’m not really…
Have you ever been told to be patient? Or not to be upset or angry? To calm down? What is patience anyway? I’ve never thought of myself as a patient person. But if I have to define patience, then, for me, patience is not the absence of anger; it’s the ability to control our fury….
